TSR Listserv Summary: Weeks of August 7th and 14th
None of the staff writers at The Sea Ranch Reader wanted to summarize the past few weeks of Listserv content. Some people described recent “pfishing” scams they received in their email.

The Sea Ranch Reader Editors Respond to the August 13th TSRA Board of Directors Meeting
